If the government did decide to do such a thing, the people would not stand a chance....armed or unarmed. You say the military members might not fight for the government.... but do they really need people with the drones and robots we have?

Yes, they do need people. A drone or a robot isn't going to knock on my door asking for my weapon.

If the term “assault riffle” is being incorrectly used then maybe we need a new term to describe what the media is calling an assault rifle. You want to say it is no different than most hunting rifles but we know that is not true.

Features that describe an assault rifle in the eyes of the media are:

Short
Nimble
Lightweight
Pistol grip to avoid climbing.
Large magazines.
Medium caliber to avoid recoil during multiple firing.
But not necessarily fully auto.

Sure these features can be used for advantages on a hunting rifles but so would using a machine gun or a 50 cal mounted on top of your truck. These features also specialize in in-close combat particularly when shooting humans in an urban environment.

The only feature a gun designer uses is not fully auto or not. There are a lot of other features that go into an assault rifle. I’m sure your list would be a lot longer than mine.

Well, you have been asking for a compromise so there it is. A gun certification/safety program for EVERY student. I have to insist on required course to graduate, because otherwise you and I both know it would not be offered or get mired in some political agenda at the local level. All children may not need the certification, but they could benefit from the safety aspect. Pass course=certified upon age requirement.

OK just as long as EVERYBODY is required to complete such a course prior to purchasing any firearm.

What robots?

"You boys are really making this thing harder than it has to be". Me

"I say we just nuke them from space, that is the only way to be sure". Winch from ALIENS2, forgot her name. The one with the great T-shirt in ALIENS1.
